(16,931 posts)There are so many ways to get through this life. I think that whether we choose, or just do what people do, that if anyone needs help, if their kids need help, it should be easy to get, with no shame attached. People have built in instincts to have children, sometimes in spite of circumstances. Illness and accidents happen. So does aging. Jesus said the poor in spirit are always with us. I take that to mean people who for whatever reason, can't make it in this world. Republicans might want more bang for their buck by making people on Medicaid work, but not everyone is capable, many are already working at full capacity aiding their loved ones, and there are so many people damaged by drugs or violence. repukes don't want to understand that. They don't see humans in all their range of emotion, ability, courage and despair. They see rivals to resources and if repukes have to share, they are going to make the unfortunate pay with shame. They are cruel.
